June Rose

-
Another aperture card today - this one uses the rose stamp from the For The Love Of Stamps Birth Flowers range, and the rose is actually my birth flower.



I coloured the rose in with coloured pencils, die cut it out using Spellbinders labels 8 and added it to the inside of the 6"x6" card blank. The paper on the outside is from the Beautifully Bright For The Love Of Stamps Perfect Backgrounds stamping pad, and I added a little red Distress Ink to the edges. The gold card is Hunkydory's mirri mats. The flourish die is an old Spellbinders one from a set called Venetian Accents (actually some of the first dies I ever bought!), and I added a gold drop shadow beneath the white flourish. The gems are Hunkydory's gold diamond sparkles.





I will be entering this one into the following challenges:

Looking forward to a trip to Ikea tomorrow (weather permitting) to look for some more craft storage bits and hopefully a new craft desk. I only have a small space to craft in (just a table in a corner really - hence the blog title of Lilly's Craft Corner) so I'm hoping to take over more of the dining room for more crafting space!

    The mirror cardstock is a great accent and the tiny pearls are a great finish.

    Thank you for joining us at Crafty Gals Corner for our Anything Goes challenge.

Hunkydory Prism Watercolour Pencils

Today I'm sharing my samples made using the brand new Hunkydory Prism watercolour pencils. I had such fun working with these pencils as I'd not used watercolour pencils in quite a long time, and these pencils were just a joy to use. This card uses one of the new FTLOS watercolour wonders stamp sets as well as some of the older FTLOS stamp sets for the butterflies and bees. I've also used one of the watercolour wonders stamp sets for this easel card I've used masking with one of the new watercolour wonders stamp sets to create this DL card. This card uses the FTLOS Fly Away With Me stamp set. I've used the FTLOS Up, Up and Away stamp set on this CAS card.   I've stamped the FTLOS Lovely Lilies onto kraft card for this card. This card has been made using the FTLOS Forget Me Nots stamps and the Blossoming Blues stamp set (for the butterflies).  I've heat embossed the Forget Me Not stamps onto kraft card wi
